Database Security Feature Highlights

Secure Deployments

Every technology has its own unique security offerings and ClusterControl ensures that what should be enabled is enabled during deployment. This eliminates the risk of human error, which could otherwise result in leaving the database vulnerable because of a security setting oversight.

Encrypted Communications

ClusterControl provides the ability to install a purchased or self-sign an SSL certificate to encrypt the communications between the server and the client. Keys for these certificates are entered into and managed by ClusterControl. Its new backup & restore encryption means that backups are encrypted at rest using AES-256 CBC algorithm. The backup files are transferred in encrypted format and users can secure their backups for offsite or cloud storage with the flip of a checkbox.
